FROM PAST CLIENTS
Chiara is an absolute superstar—so talented, professional, and kind. Having worked with her a couple of times in the past, we already knew that we loved her style, energy, and professionalism. Choosing her to capture our wedding day was a no-brainer.
What stood out to us about Chiara this time around was the level of organization and attention to detail that she demonstrated during the wedding planning process up to the big day. She was very hands-on, collaborating with our coordinator to ensure the wedding day timeline was on point and always thinking a few steps ahead. She pored over the details with us and made suggestions and recommendations along the way that we found super helpful. She was always available to answer any questions we had, and her warmth and positivity made working with her such a pleasure. I can't express enough how reassuring it is to have someone like Chiara in your corner!
On the day of our wedding, Chiara was an absolute rock for us. As every bride knows, you spend a lot of time with your photographer on your big day, so it's crucial to choose someone trustworthy and reliable. Chiara was exactly that. My husband and I felt that she was committed to making our wedding day a success, and we were happy to follow her lead and trust her judgment. We were able to relax and enjoy our wedding, knowing that Chiara understood our vision and would capture photos that we could always look back on and cherish.

BRENTWOOD BAY BEACH RESORTPlanning a destination wedding from California to Vancouver Island was overwhelming at times, especially trying to choose a photographer. There were so many options, and we truly felt lost in the process. Then we found Chiara. We were initially drawn in by her Instagram, and once we read about her style and experience (and saw the portfolio she shared), something just clicked. Even through the screen, her energy, warmth, and professionalism were undeniable.
Leading up to the wedding, she was incredible; flexible, communicative, thoughtful, and honestly just a joy to talk to. On the wedding day itself, my partner and I, who are very awkward in front of a camera, felt surprisingly at ease. Chiara created such a comfortable environment that we forgot we were being photographed at all. And the photos… absolutely AMAZING. Better than we ever imagined. Our guests adored her too and kept telling us how wonderful she was throughout the day. We couldn’t recommend Chiara more. She is talented, kind, intuitive, and genuinely such a special part of our wedding experience. If you’re considering booking her, do it. You will be so glad you did.

She captured the day with such beauty; modern, yet timeless approach. She produced images that told our story. She is fabulous to work with - fantastic communication skills, and creative direction; she made us feel comfortable, and confident in front of the lens. An extremely talented, hard working, and organized photographer. Can’t wait to work with her in the future!

BUTCHART GARDENS WEDDINGWe came across Chiara's instagram profile when looking for wedding photographers in Victoria. From her portfolio you can see she really captures the down-to-earth genuine emotions of life's special moments, and she really delivered on this style for our wedding! We were thrilled with our wedding photos! Both my husband and I have never really felt super photogenic but Chiara was stellar at staging us in a way that worked so well.
She was super organized through the wedding planning process and took initiative on each planning call, which helped us so much. When taking photos shes really good at setting the scene and guiding you on what to do. 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking for genuine photos capturing the essence of your moment in a very professional and yet down to earth manner.

FORT COMMONS DOWNTOWN VICTORIA WEDDINGMy wife and I worked with Chiara for our engagement and wedding photography, and we will forever sing her praises! Not only are the final photos stunning, professional, artistic and unique, she made us feel so comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. As an LGBT couple, the wedding industry can be frustrating to navigate, but Chiara never once made us feel like we were out of place. To top it off, she's just a delightful human being and we had such a blast getting to know her! Highly, highly recommend her services.

HATLEY CASTLE ENGAGEMENT SESSIONChiara is an excellent photographer and she was awesome to work with right from the start. She communicated really well and she was always available to answer questions. She was also extremely understanding and flexible with requirements, changes or requests. She went out of her way to prepare for the photoshoot by scouting the location for us before the shoot and was well prepared. She also gave lot of recommendations before the shoot. During the shoot she was extremely professional and took lot of time and care to prep us for the shoot. She made us very comfortable behind the camera. She was very encouraging and helped us come with poses, gestures, actions, where to look, what to do, use clothes, props, angles, lights and lot of other tricks to get the best shots. She was very easy to talk to and work with and I would recommend everyone to book her for any photography needs.

CHURCH & STATE WINERY WEDDINGChiara was so fabulous. She got great photos of our day. She was really talented at guiding us into shots without it feeling stiff or contrived. She got really gorgeous photos of our guests, and she did it without ever being obvious. Every time there was a photo worthy moment she managed to be right there, getting the shot, just beside the "action."
10/10. Don't plan to get married again, but if I did I would call Chiara.

METCHOSIN BEACH WEDDINGChiara was our wedding photographer and absolutely killed it! From the wedding planning zoom calls months before the wedding to after the wedding, her communication was great. Very comforting to a stressed bride. Her photos and editing skills matched our vibe exactly. My husband and I are not photogenic at all but she gave us great direction so our pictures looked like a magazine cover. I highly recommend Chiara to anyone looking for professional photos done for any celebration! I can’t express how much we appreciated her being there to capture our big day.

NOISY ACRES WEDDINGWe really enjoyed working with Chiara! She scheduled several calls with us throughout the planning process to coordinate all the important photo opportunities with our itinerary. She was extremely professional and jumped right into her work upon arriving for our special day. She was very well prepared with our photo list and vision, and she took all the spontaneous shots we added throughout the day in stride!! (E.g. photos with friends, fun photos for my husband and his groomsmen with cigars). The final gallery was user friendly and the photos were so beautiful!! We loved seeing all the little moments she captured! We relive our day every time we look through them.
